Im fairly new to steam, not even sure what region i am in or how to change it...
You can't, unless you actually move to a different region, but even then it's a very manual process that can take weeks as you need to provide proof of residency and your details have to be verified. As I said in my post, just have someone gift you the game, although do note that copies from Germany, Austria, Eastern Europe, a few South-east Asian countries and Australia are region-locked.
